Traveler reviews
Cotswolds Connection
If you want to see the true Cotswolds, take this tour with Martin! He knows the ins and out of the area because he lives here. He gives lots of backstory and plenty of time to wander the villages. Perfect way to spend your time!
Enjoyable, great guide, good value
A great overview in half a day, knowledgeable driver/guide. Really enjoyable and good value. Very comfortable bus.
Cotswolds with Footprints
I really enjoyed the tour with Martin in the Cotswolds. He knew the aera very well and provided us with a multitude of interesting information. I highly recommend the tour and Footprints cie! Thanks a million!
Great quick sightseeing tour
Fred did a fantastic job sharing interesting information, driving, and giving us some free time to see the cotswolds on our own. Overall I would recommend this tour for international visitors for some quick unique sightseeing. The half day tour was a little rushed in some of the towns, that may have been due to traffic on a sunny weekend day. Set your expectations accordingly, you might not have time for a beer, tea or lunch on the half day tour.
Great day in the Cotswolds
We had an amazing time with Martin touring the Cotswolds. He kept us laughing and also had a vast knowledge of the area. We would definitely recommend this tour!
